Seneca the Younger

But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
What you think is the summit is only a step up
Seneca the Younger
There is no satisfaction in any good without a companion.
Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
Seneca the Younger
